Rapid Reaction: Titans 24, Jaguars 14

Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky

JACKSONVILLE - Tennessee was completely outplayed in the first half. The Titans might have concluded they'd finally come up with a flat Sunday and reluctantly accepted a dud.

Instead, they worked and fought and clawed their way out of it -- in large part because of two Kerry Collins-to-Justin Gage deep balls, no less -- and moved to 10-0 by flipping the game inside-out.

A rematch on the road against a familiar opponent and a bitter divisional rival wasn't enough to wash away the basics: The Titans are better than the Jaguars, who fell to 4-6 and will be hard-pressed to hold together, recover and make a bid for a wild card spot.

The Titans have frequently talked this season about how they've yet to play a complete game, and this certainly wasn't one.

For those of us who countered that they haven't played their worst game yet either... Well, they probably played their worst half, and that wasn't nearly enough to throw them off track.
